    <p>I'm trying to build some kind of RESTful-like API, I'm aware of that my first draft probably isn't anything near the real RESTful design pattern. However my real question is how should I consume my service using JSON?</p> <p>In my so called real world example I want my users to sign in via the service so I have this AuthenticationController</p> <pre><code>namespace RESTfulService.Controllers { public class AuthenticationController : ApiController { public string Get(string username, string password) { // return JSON-object or JSON-status message return ""; } public string Get() { return ""; } } } </code></pre> <p>Considering the increasing popularity with the technology I assumed that very little code would be needed for consuming the service. Do I really need to serialize the JSON manually with some kind of third party package like json.net? Beneath is my draft for the client</p> <pre><code>private static bool DoAuthentication(string username, string password) { var client = InitializeHttpClient(); HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync("/api/rest/authentication").Result; if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { //retrieve JSON-object or JSON-status message } else { // Error } return true; } private static HttpClient InitializeHttpClient() { HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost/"); // Add an Accept header for JSON format. client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add( new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json")); return client; } </code></pre> <p>How do I send JSON from service and how do I interpreting it on the client?</p>

    1. CONot a complete answer, but for consuming REST services you should have a look at RestSharp.

    2. COYes I have been looking into that but I was "hoping" for some code that did not depend on third party.

    3. COOn the server side, Web API will automatically serialize the return value (to JSON, if that's what the client requests). Have you looked at http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/getting-started-with-aspnet-web-api/tutorial-your-first-web-api?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
